With ambitious growth plans and a reputation for excellence, this is an exciting opportunity to join a thriving business and play a key role in our continued success with genuine long-term career prospects.
About the Role
We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Pitched Roof Estimator to take ownership of the tendering process for our pitched roofing projects — from initial enquiry through to securing the purchase order.
We welcome applications from experienced pitched roofing estimators, estimators from related construction sectors seeking a new challenge, and university graduates looking to take their first step into the construction industry. Full training and support will be provided for the right candidate.

* Attend site visits to assess project requirements, take measurements, and meet clients to discuss proposals.
* Collaborate closely with suppliers and manufacturers to develop robust and tailored project specifications.
* Build and maintain strong client relationships to encourage repeat business opportunities.
* Provide clear and detailed handovers to the Project Delivery Team to ensure smooth contract execution.
* Follow established estimating processes while contributing ideas to drive continual improvement.
What We're Looking For
* Experience in estimating within roofing or a related construction trade (experience in pitched roofing preferred but not essential).
* Knowledge of roofing systems, including tiles, slates, and leadwork, would be an advantage.
* Confident and professional communicator.
* Commercially astute, well-organised, and able to work effectively to deadlines.
* Self-motivated with excellent attention to detail and accuracy
* Full UK Driving Licence (required)
